I'd expect GMP to support any kind of cpu names supported and encouraged by autoconf, plus the more specific cpu model names recognized by gmp. At least I cannot get it to work, or find anything related in `config.sub' or `configure.ac'. Best, Albin ___ gmp-devel mailing list gmp-devel@gmplib.org https://gmplib.org/mailman/listinfo/gmp-devel

Options for x86_64 "versions" for system types
Hi, I'm sure that many of you have heard about many Linux distributions are playing with the idea of setting the baseline for what CPU architecture is supported regarding x86_64 CPUs, mainly "x86_64-v3". I cannot see that GMP today allows specifying `--host=x86_64-v3-...' or something similar. I suppose that packagers specifying such a host triplet could yield speedups for (most?) users downloading precompiled binaries on such distributions. Have there been thoughts of allowing such triplets? Best, Albin ___ gmp-devel mailing list gmp-devel@gmplib.org https://gmplib.org/mailman/listinfo/gmp-devel
